“We took this incident very seriously and did a thorough and careful investigation,” University Police Chief J.

Ontario will spend $100 million over the next three years on a long-term strategy to end violence against indigenous women.

The question here is, why do we need this "strategy" at all?

"The overview reveals a virtually identical homicide solving ratefor Aboriginal women (88%) and non-Aboriginal women (89%). The study reveals that the rate of stranger perpetrated homicide against Aboriginal women is 8%, virtually the same as for non-Aboriginal women (7%).

Why does Kathleen Wynne not have a strategy for protecting women regardless of their ethnicity? Why wouldn't the government want to just help victims of violence... regardless of gender or ethnic origin?

Perhaps, instead, as government statistics suggest, society needs to be protected from aboriginal women...

The shocking interview with Hassan Al-Laham, who holds the title “Mufti of Gaza,” came during a weekly Palestinian Authority TV program on social issues. Explaining that divorce must be a last resort in Islam, Al-Laham laid out the four steps that should come first.

“We’ve heard a lot of feedback from Albertans and media over the course of the last two days and it’s clear we made a mistake,” the premier’s office said in a statement Wednesday.

Canada's minister for the status of women, Patty Hajdu, suggests [via anecdotal evidence supplied by aboriginal activists] the number of missing and murdered indigenous women could be as high as 4,000, but (and I'm quoting verbatim here) "a dearth of hard data" means it's all but impossible to pinpoint an accurate figure.

Hmmm... a "dearth of hard data," Patty? For true?

You mean like that unsubstantiated argle-bargle that some "Social Justice Warrior" just pulled out of her capacious, sainted, yet uberly-objective ass? You just might want to do a little more research...

This report, of course, is utterly unacceptable. Apparently, the rookie minister is convinced the RCMP is is fiddling the books, her theory being that police departments will lowball murders because, well... racism.

Hajdu, who represents Thunder Bay–Superior North, said the 4,000 number is more believable because there is a history of police underreporting homicides, or failing to investigate suspicious deaths.

I dunno, Patty... if I'm a high ranking police bureaucrat, it's way more likely I'm gonna push these statistics as high as possible, to reinforce my case for a larger operating budget in the next fiscal year.

Regardless, the Natural Governing Party has decided instead, to go with the anecdotal "evidence" (a contradiction in terms if I ever heard one) supplied by, surprise, surprise... an aboriginal lobby group.

"Very often many families, because of negative interactions in the past, because of racism, have not in fact reported when a loved one goes missing," Dawn Lavell-Harvard, the president of Native Women's Association of Canada said in an interview with CBC News on Monday.

How does that even make sense? You don't report a crime because, what... the cops might solve it?

To further confuse the issue, perennial weeper and Librano spokes-dupe Carolyn Bennett then issued a statement that directly contradicted Ms. Lavell-Harvard...

That's so strange, I mean Canadians in general and Newfies specifically, well... they love their dogs, they're like members of the family. Why would anyone refuse... wait a minute... what do those infamous Islamophobes over at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind have to say?

When it comes to cabs, many companies point out that drivers who are Muslimdo not want contact with dogs because Islamic tradition sees them as unclean. But critics argue that carrying dogs comes with the job description for taxi drivers.

Is this Muslim/Dog argle-bargle even a real thing?

Jamal Badawi, a Halifax Imam and religious studies professor emeritus at St. Mary’s University, said there is nothing in the Qur'an or Muslim teachings that says dogs are to be avoided.

Hmmm... that isn't stopping the Islamic "community" from using it to avoid security checks the rest of us have to go through...

Months after a Toronto woman filed a human rights complaint against Omar Mahrouk, a Muslim barber who would not give her a haircut, the issue has been quietly resolved. Ms. McGregor filed a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal last June after she was denied a haircut because it is against the barbers’ religion to touch a woman.

Toilet routines differ, and Islamic culture has detailed toilet etiquette. Islamic countries traditionally use water to wash. The myreligionislam.com website lists 20 rules and practices "to be followed when answering the call of nature." One rule stipulates using fingers to clean oneself, and "if there are still traces," washing them with water. Cleaning the private parts "with stones and similar materials" is regarded as an "acceptable substitute for cleaning them with water."

Other rules forbid talking, singing, smoking or reading the paper while on the toilet. People are also advised to enter the bathroom left foot first, while exiting with the right.

“You have a non-homicide trained US Marshal tell the justice of peace that no foul play was observed. You have a justice of the peace pronounce death whilenot being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack.

What medical proof exists of a myocardial Infarction? Why not a cerebral hemorrhage?”

No one breaks this sort of thing down better than the incomparable Mark Steyn...

"Free peoples are losing the habit of free speech," he says. "They're taught, not really just at university but in fact from kindergarten, that there is a correct view of certain subjects and that incorrect views are distressing. The last two generations raised in the Western world, they don't do that thing, the apocryphal Voltaire line, 'I disagree with what you say but I'll fight to the death for you to.'"

"They'll fight to the death for you not to be allowed to say it."

Remember, this is all about shaping the narrative. And there's no better way to do that than to stifle discussion and possible dissent before it happens.

Three other women told me similar stories, supported by evidence, of manipulation and entrapment. Ghomeshi would establish an electronic paper trail before the alleged violence took place and would make efforts to continue a correspondence afterwards. It followed a pattern.

Now, almost a year after the killing of Teresa Robinson, 11, in a remote northern Manitoba First Nation community and under pressure to solve the case, RCMP investigators are trying to gather DNA samples from about 2,000 local men and boys.

The DNA sweep comes as Ottawa is gathering feedback on the design and scope of a national inquiry into the 1,200 indigenous women and girls who have been murdered or went missing in the past 30 years.

Aboriginal women make up only four per cent of Canada’s female population, but accounted for 16 per cent of all women murdered in 1980-2012.

Yeah, Justin, you call that "missing aboriginal women" enquiry. I'm thinking it just might not give you the very specific answer you're looking for.

**********

UPDATE: That's a 50 million dollar enquiry, right Justin?

Parallel to the findings of the 2014 Overview in which most homicide victims had a previous relationship with the offender, the 2013 and 2014 RCMP data reveals that the offender was known to the victim in 100% of the solved homicides of Aboriginal women in RCMP jurisdictions, and in 93% of cases of solved homicides of non-Aboriginal women.

Violence within family relationships is a key factor in homicides of women, and has prompted the RCMP to focus intervention and prevention efforts on familial and spousal violence.

She has told Ghomeshi’s sexual assault trial that she doesn’t remember sending it.

No wonder people are turning to the internet for their news and entertainment.

No tedious fact-checking required... and for what it's worth, "professional journalists", in Toronto anyway, apparently don't cross-contaminate their uber-padded j-school cocoons by looking at each others stories.

So what earthshaking events are transpiring in the T.dot this news cycle? There's a million stories in the naked city, right?Lemme see... lemme see...

Hmm... that's weird... I've never actually heard of Quinn Taylor... even on those those fawning CBC radio programmes that shove multiculturalism up your white-privileged patootie a nickel at a time. I wonder what will happen to Quinn's budding rap music empire... oh, wait... here's an update from the Toronto Star...

Transitioning, huh? That sounds way more impressive than filling a garbage bag with clothes and grabbing a bus to Rexdale.

All that said, I've actually learned something here... apparently posting homebrew rap music videos to Youtube from your Mom's livingroom qualifies anyone and their homies to be the next "Suge Lite." Word, bro.

Back at the Sun, the father-in-law of David Eminess, the other man killed, says that David had "gone out for a drink" and “some Chinese food." He was going to "bring some home for us to eat.”

The timing of the murder, which happened way after the witching hour on a cold winters morning seems to suggest otherwise. Most of the pre-shoot reporting so far has the two dead men and a now wounded third party standing around socialising on Spadina Avenue... seemingly unconcerned about any sort of food run.

David Eminess, 26, and Quinn Taylor, 29, were out front of the New Ho King restaurant on Spadina Ave., south of College St., along with a third man when the gunfire erupted around 3:15 a.m.

It's actually way closer to breakfast than dinner time here. How long, exactly, are you gonna just sit around waiting for your hypothetical take out?

Well, if that spring roll story doesn't work for you, (according to the CBC) the family has another one...

Christian Promesse, Eminess's brother-in-law said Eminess had gone to the area to watch a game and get a drink. He said the police told him that there was a crowd of people and a fight broke out, and that Eminess got caught in the crossfire.

"Speaking to media on Tuesday, Feb. 2, Toronto police Staff Insp. Greg McLane said it appeared the two murdered men, 26-year-old David Eminess and 29-year-old Quinn Taylor were targeted by their attacker."

Additionally, Mr Eminess is described variously by different media outlets as a student and also as someone supporting his young family with odd jobs.

Yes, it's a tragedy when anyone is cut down before their time, but instead of tugging at people's heartstrings with references to fatherless toddlers, non-existent careers and 3am tipples... perhaps we could see a little journalism? How about a description of the shooter for starters? Oh right, this is Canada... that's definitely off-limits.

Just colour me sceptical... Chinatown at three in the morning is not the place where anybody's dreams come true. Unless you're a junkie or a ten dollar whore you'd be way better off at home with Netflix and a cold beer. Even the cops travel in pairs in that neighbourhood. No wonder the mainstream media is going the way of the dinosaurs.

RELATED: Toronto the not-so-good

Toronto police say a 19-year-old man suffered non-life-threatening injuries when he was shot in the eastern part of downtown Toronto on Tuesday afternoon. The man was walking somewhere in the area of Queen and Victoria streets after 3 p.m. when a vehicle drove past him at a high rate of speed and someone in the vehicle shot at him.

And there's this...

A male is dead following a violent assault in Etobicoke, a representative with Toronto Paramedic Services says. It happened in The West Mall and Rathburn Road area at around 7 p.m.

The victim is believed to be in his 20s, paramedics said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Deputy Police Chief Peter Sloly says he wants to trim the fat to the tune of a couple hundred less line officers. Lemme know how that works out.

...asking violent thugs to obey... "pretty please with sugar on top"... the existing "law of the land?"It's funny, not because it's factual, but essentially because it's so true.
